Anne with an "e" has been stealing the hearts of readers generation after generation since it was first published in 1908. At that time there were not many great female protaganists in novels but there was a great audience of women readers who fell in love with this bright and extremely imaginative red-headed orphan. The book was an immediate sensation and the series followed. It's one of these most beloved girl books ever written having sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and translated into at least 20 languages. It has also been adapted into numerous films television series and plays. "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything would it There'd be no scope for imagination then would there" L.C. Page hardcover books‎

Second edition from / new plates made in 1925: / the old plates of the original / edition in 1908 being worn / out. With new illustrations. / L. M. Montgomery Macdonald / April / 1926. Illustrated by Elizabeth R. Withington. Extremely Rare - Inscribed by the Author. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. Additionally inscribed with a former owner's provenance note to the front pastedown: "This book autographed by the / author was presented in 1948 to / Sister Mary Kathleen then superintendent / of nurses St. Michael's Hospital Toronto / by the author's son Dr. Stuart / Macdonald member of the / Staff of Obstetrics and Gynaecology sic / St. Michael's Hospital Toronto Canada. / To Franie / Affectionately / Aunt Amy / Dec. 13 1977". Overall a clean and attractive copy with strong provenance. The only signed Anne of Green Gables we have seen. <br /> After inscribing the book the author bequeathed this copy to her son Dr. Stuart Macdonald who presented this volume to the nursing superintendent at the Toronto hospital where he worked. In turn the nurse gave this copy to "Aunt Amy" who chronicled the book's ownership history in her inscription. Aunt Amy gifted this book and additionally inscribed it to Franie. Franie passed the book down to the step-mother of the most recent owner. The personal nature of this volume's provenance emphasizes the rareness of a signed copy of this title. <br /> The author's inscription relates to Elizabeth Withington's eight illustrated plates including one frontispiece. The earliest editions of Anne of Green Gables contain illustrations by W. A. J. and M. A. Claus. All three artists were painters working with a variety of mediums meaning their works had to be copied by printers for mass reproduction. By 1925 the printer's plates of Claus' work had been used to the point that they were no longer producing clear images. Rather than making new plates from the original Claus illustrations Withington created new original illustrations for the subsequent printings. Although the choice of illustrator was likely made by the publisher Montgomery's inscription which is accompanied with a small cat silhouette illustration implies she was rather fond of Withington's artwork. <br /> Anne of Green Gables is a story about a young orphan girl Anne Shirley who is sent to live on a farm on Prince Edward Island with a family who had intended to adopt a boy. Montgomery drew much of the novel's setting from her own childhood experiences living with her grandparents on the eastern coast of the island. Like her readers the author was quite taken with the jovial character she had created and wrote multiple sequels to this first installment of what would become a beloved children's series. L.C.

‎Archive of Notes and Ephemera Relating to the Traffic and Transit of Lima and Santiago‎

‎Various places 1932. Very good. Seventy-five items plus six small notebooks and one folio scrapbook. Some wear and soiling to a few items but condition generally clean and quite good. Extensive archive of transit information for the cities of Lima Peru and Santiago Chile compiled by traffic expert M.T. Montgomery of Lancaster Pennsylvania. Based near Lima Montgomery gathered information on bus rail chauffeur and rail-less trolley travel. Included here are manuscript notes and recommendations typed reports his pocket notebooks travel ephemera printed tracts and booklets and more. A repurposed ledger serves as a scrapbook holding 120 pages of Spanish-language newspaper clippings documenting traffic conditions and issues. The archive contains about thirty-five pieces of travel-related ephemera -- bus tickets calling cards transit passes -- from Montgomery's time in South America. There is a large broadsheet advertising the fiestas for Carnaval complete with a map of the festivities on the back. . Also present is a blueprint plan of Lima showing the omnibus service routes in 1927 and a mimeographed study on the bus service between Santiago and San Bernardo. In his work Montgomery points out the traffic chaos in the region and the associated difficulty of making profit under the current rate for fares. He provides a list of recommendations for ameliorating the situation including "All taxis until further notice will work only 20 days per month which will reduce the vehicles on the streets ." Other memos include "High Spots of Improvements Made in Tramway Service in Cordoba - Mendoza - Santa Fe - Tucuman & Parana"; "Personal Views Regarding Points Discussed at Tramway Managers Meeting"; and "A Few Facts about Schedules: One Man's Opinion." He also recommends that businesses building factories in South America not hire Latin American managers lest they lose control of their customer base. Montgomery appears to have been worried about the threat of Communism as well as there are a handful of manuscripts and pamphlets documenting the dangers of that political bent. A wonderful trove of information on an unusual subject giving the perspective of an American specialist on the issues of traffic and transportation in South America. unknown books‎

"In this important new study to Japanese imperialism Michael Montgomery focuses on the psychological factors which lay behind it; the sense of inferiority engendered by the wholesale adoption of Chinese culture the feeling of uniqueness encouraged by the long period of isolation and acceptance of authority conditioned by the rigidly hierarchical nature of Japanese society. These factors still apply today he believes and the recent attempt to sanitise school history textbooks revives uncomfortable echoes of the pre-war Bureau of Thought Control."- dust jacket.

‎The Poetical Works of the Rev. R. Montgomery A.M. Oxon. Volumes I & II: Satan; Woman BOTH VOLUMES FORE-EDGE PAINTED‎

‎London: Ball Arnold & Co 1840. Small Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. New edition revised seventh edition and fourth edition respectively. Both volumes feature idyllic fore-edge paintings: the first of a woman and a boy holding hands as they walk a road with large trees on either side in the foreground and copses of trees in the distance; the second depicts two figures rowing a canoe down a stream with a village in the distance. Each appears to be by the same artist. Corners a bit rubbed with evidence of minor restoration to spine head and foot ink name on front endpaper of each volume. 1840 Small Hard Cover. xi 171; 208 12 pp. 12mo. Volumes one and two of what was ultimately a six-volume set of Montgomery's collected poems. The presence of fore-edge paintings on these volumes is somewhat unusual as traditionally this was done on leather-bound volumes often quite a bit larger than these and the practice in general was considerably more common in the 18th century and earlier. That being said these are ably done so it is clear that they are not the work of an amateur and it is possible someone commissioned a contemporary artist to do the entire set and these are the volumes that remain. His poetry while it sold well during his lifetime is remembered best as the victim of excoriating reviews by John Wilson in Blackwood's and Thomas Babington Macaulay in the Edinburgh Review.
